Which of the following is considered regulated waste?

Garbage
Paper products
Contaminated paper towels
Food waste

The correct answer is: Contaminated paper towels

Regulated waste refers to materials that may pose a risk to public health and the environment due to their potential contamination or hazardous nature. Contaminated paper towels, especially in a tattoo or body art setting, are considered regulated waste because they can come into contact with bodily fluids, including blood or other potentially infectious materials. Proper disposal of these items is critical to prevent the spread of infections or other health risks. In contrast, options such as garbage, paper products, and food waste generally do not carry the same level of risk as they do not typically involve direct contact with contaminants in the context of tattooing. This distinction is essential for maintaining safety and compliance with health regulations in tattoo parlors and similar environments.
